Abstract
It is well known that solar and space weather activities can influence the performance and reliability of modern technological system and can endanger human life. Since 2007, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has initiated a research project for the construction of Korean Space Weather Prediction Center (K-SWPC) to make preparations for the next solar cycle maximum (~2012). In this talk, we briefly introduce the current progress of KASI activities for K-SWPC; extension of ground observation system, construction of space weather database and network, development of prediction models, and space weather effects. In addition, future plans for KSWPC will be discussed.
